I recently encountered a strange thing for the first time with Wordpress...all of my text boxes in every widget sidebar disappeared! Other widgets are still there. Has this happened to anyone else? I am using 10 different sidebars on 10 different templates and all text widgets have failed. Is there a limit to how many sidebars you should have? What else could be the problem?

- Thanks, I just wanted to know if there was such thing as "overloading" a sidebar. – Drai Commented Sep 23, 2011 at 17:24
- My text widgets are dissapearing as well. Have you found what this happens? Thank you – user14306 Commented Mar 19, 2012 at 11:58
- I never figured out why, and haven't had the issue since. – Drai Commented Mar 19, 2012 at 12:28

Reset to default 0I decided to use Widget Logic instead of so many sidebars and that seems to have at leat circumvented the issue.
Possibly you must enable debug to true in your wp-config.php file by writing
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
to find out what's the exact issue, this will show you all the errors in wordpress dashboard, alternatively you can also check console log in the browser for errors, a proper debugging will probably resolve your issue.
